USB interface stopped working after update

Fri Oct 12 20:20:45 UTC 2012

Hey Bruno,

I only have only a german resource for that but possibly google translate helps:
 http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Soundkarten_konfigurieren#Soundkarte-ist-stumm-obwohl-sie-unter-dem-Livesystem-funktioniert-und-auch-vom-System-erkannt-wurde

That fits exactly to your problem.

Cheers
Tim
